So I thought what if I could combine the two? I know that you can mask off parts of the Gelli to create transparent areas, but I thought I would try and use a stamp instead.

I used a flourish stamp by Indigo Blu and pressed it into the acrylic paint, cleaning it off each time I made my impression. That way it picked up the paint to create some transparent patches.

Then it was simply a case of waiting for the paint to completely dry. Instead of lifting the print with cardstock, I used a sheet of double sided adhesive to pull the print. Finally I adhered the adhesive sheet to the acetate. It was actually very easy.

I love the patches of transparency, and I think I may have invented distressed acetate!

I know I am latecomer to the world of Gelli, but I am constantly amazed at the versatility of my Gelli plate, it was a great investment.

Your card is really stunning!What a good idea to combine those two techniques.It looks soooo beautiful, love it.Maybe I will give it a try, if that's okay with you?I'm sure it will look totally different :-))Groetjes Gery
